We Bought a Zoo Page #2

...till a woman came looking for her.

And then, Kaveri left with her.

But where did she go?

Just a minute,

I'll have to check the register.

Bharatiji, this gentleman is

looking for Kaveri.

Do you know where

is she now?

Bharatiji used to share

the room with Kaveri.

I remember her mentioning

a village before leaving.

Now what was it...?

Charanpur.

- That's right, Charanpur.

Where is this Charanpur?

- Never heard of it.

We'll find out.

Kaveri was a good woman.

We all miss her.

Here's the address.

Thank you!

Kaveri is very fortunate.

There was someone who came

for her then, and now once again.

Otherwise who cares

for old ones like us?

Come on.

Excuse me.

Here's the map.

You'll find Charanpur in here.

That'll be 150 rupees.

- That's ok. Don't pay me.

Do me a favor. Watch the counter

for me while I nip to the bank.

Get me a loan too!

- Sure, you'll manage the counter, right?

I'll just sit behind.

That's good.

- Come back soon.

Excuse me you've no respect?

What happened?

You can see I am picking up books,

and still you're walking all over them.

I did not mean to.

Look, books are a source

of knowledge and culture...

and if you don't know how to respect

them, you shouldn't be here.

Well I'm sorry.

- Thanks.

I'm sorry, I was just

looking at this map.

You want to buy these books?

No! I want to sell them!

Oh stupid question, I'm sorry.

- No I'm sorry.

Actually I'm just a little irritated.

- No, I saw what happened.

You dealt with the man right.

Some people just don't have

the basic etiquette.

Oh yeah... I'll do this for you.

Lots of books.

I will need a...

- Over there.

Yes, thank you.

And these 8 note books at 113

and the total is...

Seven fifty.

Must be right!

Then give me a concession?

Sorry I can't!

Bags.

I have been looking

for Charanpur in this map

It's a small little village.

Have you heard of it?

Yes, I know where it is.

Go down National Highway No. 6 for

Take a left from there.

Then keep going for 80 kms till

you reach Azamgarh.

From there 20 kms on a dirt track,

you'll reach Charanpur.

Wow! Your geography seems

pretty good as well!

Here you...

Hello! Excuse me.

Please look after the counter...

What happened?

You sick of the job already?

No, a girl came in, bought a lot of

books... but left without her change.

Hey! Not bad!

You made a profit for the company on the

very first day! You've got the job!

She was amazing!

She even gave me directions

to Charanpur!

Great, where is it?

About 200 kms from here.

Spare me Mohan. Don't expect me to

leave the store and drive you there.

No worries!

I'll need a car though.

Take mine.

- No, no. Could I get a caravan?

Caravan? What for?

Don't know the conditions I'll have

to face in the village.

Ok, ok Mr. NRl

(Non-Resident Indian)

You'll have your caravan.

Don't worry.

old Hindi film song

Can you tell me which of these

paths will lead to Charanpur?

You have strayed from the path.

Really?

I've been following directions...

I must have taken a wrong

turn somewhere.

It was your destiny to make

this mistake.

Charanpur is pretty far from here.

I'm headed in that direction.

If you want,

l can show you the right path!

Go on, O traveller!

O traveller! Go on!

How beautiful is this world

Forget thy troubles all

Behold! The beds of flowers enthrall

Heed thee vibrant world's call

Wow!

Encore!

Sing.

This path now bids me:

Somewhere, someone's

waiting for thee!'

This path now bids me:

Somewhere, someone's

waiting for thee!'

Why doth my heart impatient be?

Who longeth to meet me?

Perhaps, in the narrowing compass

What I'd cherished is coming to pass

Go on, O traveller!

O traveller! Go on!

Life's a car; Time's the wheel

There's the river of tears for sure

And a garden of joys too, secure.

O brother, all these stare

intently upon thy path

Go on, O traveller!

O traveller! Go on!

How beautiful is this world

Forget thy troubles all

Behold! The beds of flowers enthrall

Heed thee vibrant world's call

Wherever I cast my eye

upon these paths

Colours stream in my glance

The breeze is cool, the shade cool too

Far, over there, I wonder whose

hamlet stands

Ah! How didst the rain clouds amass?

That my heart was brought

to such a pass

What dream have I seen?

- That every dream doth true appear,

Kindling fire in my body

lf thy heart's path thou traverseth

Thou shallst pick pearl from

The oyster every moment

Only if thou couldst always

heed thy heart

Go on, O traveller!

O traveller! Go on!

How beautiful is this world

Forget thy troubles all

Behold! The beds of flowers enthrall

Heed thee vibrant world's call

The heart experienceth such ease

As though the burden upon the

shoulder hath dropped off

As though innocence of

childhood hath returned

As though at longest last in

River Ganga hast one had bath

As though at longest last in

River Ganga hast one had bath

The heart purged as it were

Every bond at large

I find the life sanctified now

There's love in my living,

a song upon the lips

This is verily the triumph of

thy life, O traveller!

Whichever direction thou goest,

Love alone thou squander

You light a million lamps,

O traveller!

Go on, O traveller!

O traveller! Go on!

Who is it that haileth me

The river, hill, lakes and streams,

the woods and trees

Who's it that signals from these

Go on, O traveller

How beautiful is this world

Excuse me.

Do you know where Kaveriji lives?

Hey Chikku!

Take this man to Kaveriji

Sorry!

- Watch it!

Amma! Amma!

(Mother Mother)

Amma!

Amma!

Wait a while.

She needs to be massaged like this

in the morning and evening, Maithili!

She'll cry a little, but ignore it.

Understood?

Now say.

Amma, someone has come

to meet you in a very big car.

A very big car?

Come on, now!

It's parked outside.

I am coming.

Chikku, hope this isn't

one of your pranks!

Look at that.

It's very big; isn't it?

What's going on?

Huh, who is this?

Go on take a guess!

I can't. Come on, who is this?

Let go of me!

Atkan batkan dahi chatokan,

(Lord Krishna's childhood couplet)

lf you're Yashoda, then who am I...?

(Lord Krishna's childhood couplet)

Mohan!

Mohan!

Kaveriamma.

Mohan... it's you, it's really you!

I can't believe my eyes!

Do you know who this is?

This is Mohan, my Mohan!

The one I keep talking
